CAMULUS - Concept of fantasy sword
Idea at the beginning has been to create both hand sword witch medieval age breathe again no armored but very quick enemies. Cold steel partner for night witch hunt in the country side. Right tool for situation when its swinging keep the witch in the distance before final moment. Darkness is falling, so lets go outside.
When you checked real both hand swords on net then it could be surprise as simple they are. That long blades is really respectful. And videos on youtube, showing them in action, answer question how much powerful they are.
To model it is no difficult and when you are practiced then to create highpoly 3d object of it takes around 2 hours. On the other hand, simplicity of model does not help to bring realism in rendering output. Eyes have no much to be cought so there has to be made some work on surface in order to make it more interesting. I followed same path. Model did quickly and I was focused only on engraving of centre part above cross guard. I paid attentions to look it like it is man-hand made, hoping it looks like that.
All around as usual. All work - idea, modeling, rendering - is mine. I did job in 3dsmax,zbrush, photoshop. Rendering engine is Vray.
I made 2 pictures:
1. CAMULUS main - peterku.deviantart.com/art/Cam…
2. CAMULUS secondary - peterku.deviantart.com/art/Cam…
(Pictures are big. Their resolution is 2750x2500. I did them huge to show details of engraving. I recommend to open them in original size to bring details into the light.)
So what do you thing. Do you like it or not? Tnx for comments if any. Bye.

I must say this is my favorite sword you have made and favorite on the web period. Truly a gorgeous weapon.

Got a question. I'm using your sword as a reference for one of my OCs. Is that alright with you? I'll link and credit in case you find it's likeness to similar. The artist isn't done. So changes can still be made.

I love your weapon designs. You put so much thought in them that I have to stand back and admire your work. One thing I would suggest with any long swords like this, it the hilt assembly, the crossguard in particular. It could stand to be more pronounced. The cross guard is VERY important to long sword fighting. Its used to bind, disarm, and strike. There are even old texts on how to grip the blade and use the guard to hook and enemy and bring them in close if they have a longer weapon. I would recommend looking up Skallagrim on youtube. He has a huge amount of information on long sword fighting, parts, conventions and misconceptions. I found www.youtube.com/watch?v=dk0GBK… particularly info packed.

Hi. tnx you for positive words. With swords I have number one problem to hit right proportion. I could find where is problem but now I think I make grip too broad which make this effect. Anyway tnx for that youtube. I will watch this guy how to explain swords and stuff around.

No problem! Glad to help out. Yeah, he has a lot of videos where he debunks misunderstandings and myths about swords, he explains why things are shaped the way they are and such. As for the grip, actually, you want it to be a little wider than thick. An oval cross section with a slight bulge in the middle (usually called a palm swell) helps both with grip and to allow you to feel edge direction in the grip. As for size, I would say around the size of a thick broom handle that has been hammered flat on the sides (to give that oval shape) But Skallagrim would know more than me on that given he spars a lot more. I've only gotten to once T_T.

I'm a bit confused with scale and resonance - is this Estoc? Claymore? Broadsword?
For me it looks like a bit weird version of Estoc - thrusting sword, beucase you cannot slash anything efficently without either breaking sword in 2 or missing target because of unbalanced weapon itself.
Also i question furrow which goes UNDER heraldics and to handle - that will collect liquids like blood, dirt, water from time, sword base will rust out and it will fall off.
2.8/5 usability.
Lighting is good as always, materials look nice and clean. 4.2/5 presentation.

This is pretty awesome. I'd love to collect a sword like this. If you ever get a physical copy made...let me know.

3d gives people like I'm opportunity to make something cool, otherwise If I made a try as a real blacksmith it would definititely end up with injury

I like it, though I'm not qualified to say whether it looks handmade or not. Well done!

It looks great, but for some reason I get the uncanny-valley feeling looking at it.

whole grip is too modern and need to be remade. that caused your feelings I guest.

Not really. It's the metal. Your scifi swords could be excused, probably being made with future tech, but I can't broker with the white and grey from a medieval style. The metal is too clean.

Quite impressive render I'd say great looking model and neat textures all around an amazing job, when I saw the thumbnail in my newsfeed I thought it a picture from a real sword so you really did a great job on everything to make it look realistic!
Good job and keep it up!

The steel textures are too fine and clean, I guess, as well as the leather on the grip looks too ornate for the dark age. You'd expect just a leather band wrapped around it and some scratches from the smithing process.
But i love the elegant design in general, even if it's easy to see that you usually do futuristic concepts.
Awesome work!
